[Bug 1994134] [NEW] python ovn module does not support hostnames in URLs

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

Using hostnames in DB URLs is useful in environments where underlying IP
addresses may change, such as in a Kubernetes deployment where pods may
get re-created and assigned new IPs.

The FQDN for the pod will however remain constant.

The main OVS DB client supports use of hostnames with unbound however
the Python OVS DB client does not which inhibits hostname usage in
consumers of this module.

** Affects: openvswitch (Ubuntu)
